Morning all. Hope you had a good weekend. Looking forward to seeing you all
tonight. Details about what we're up to will follow later. In the meantime,
please can you find/think about making a buzzer for yourself. A bell, a
drum, a tin whistle, clapping hands, a horn, a kazoo, a melodian, a cacaw!
Whatever you've got in your house, or a weird and unique sound you can
make! See you at 7.30pm xx

Hello all,
Just wanted to check-in with all of Ravens!
I'm keeping in touch with quite a few people in our Monday zooms, which is lovely but I know doesn't work for everyone.
While I hope everyone who comes to zooms enjoys it I want to emphasise again that no-one should feel obliged to do so if they don't want to, are working late, have internet problems, don't feel up to socialising or in general can't face it! Whatever happens, we'll still be a team when we all get back together again :)
Saying that, if there is anyone who doesn't make the zoom chats but would like to socialise in some other way, please do let me know and I'll see what we can organise. Would a different day work? Or a different format? Obviously, we can't accommodate everything but I don't want anyone feeling left out!
For those who regularly attend zoom chats, thank you! I hope changing the host each week is working? Personally, I've loved seeing the different topics, and now games that people have been suggesting. Similarly, people who've kept in touch on whatsapp, it's lovely to keep the dialogue going 🙂🙂
For those I've not heard much from, I hope you're doing ok still, if you want to get in touch please do, or if you just want to see us when practice resumes that will be great too!
Take care,
Becky

Thanks for charades last week Hannah, it was fun and I thought it worked
well.
Tonight's theme...
We're going to do a version of the game 'Consequences', where we construct
a story by going round the Zoom 'circle', each adding a word or sentence
(or so) at a time, without planning or conferring. The more spontaneous the
better. A typical guide for how a Consequences story goes as follows
(although we might adjust it a little depending how many people we have):
1. Adjective for woman
2. Woman's name
3. Adjective for man
4. Man's name
5. Where they met
6. What they went there for
7. What she wore
8. What he wore
9. What she said to him
10. What he said to her
11. The consequence (a description of what happened after)
12. What the world said
Example (from Wikipedia):
*Mediocre Joe* met *transparent Kim* at *the bowling alley*, to plot the
overthrow of Stalin
Joe wore *a seafoam green leisure suit*. Kim wore *a sandwich board*. Joe
said to Kim, “*During the last storm, we had a little party in the mud*.”
Kim said, “*She wasn’t that into me*.” As a consequence, *the band got back
together*. And the world said “*Somehow, I think I saw this coming.*”

Hi Ravens,
It's the email you've all been waiting for - the theme (and link) for
tomorrow's zoom! And excitingly there's two!
Topic: If you could live in any fictional land, which would it be and why?
Spoiler alert but I'm going to be spending all Sunday deciding between the
Hundred Acre Wood and Moomin Valley.
I also thought it'd be fun if we all dressed up! Interpret this as you want
to; full length sequined ballgown, glam up your PJ's, or put on a fancy
hat, and get your best red carpet poses ready. I know some of you are
working lots so zero pressure and you can put in as much or as little
effort as you like, but my fave outfit will get a prize!
And finally the link - kindly provided my Katherine who has been gifted an
unlimited meeting by Zoom, so fingers crossed it works. If not I'll set up
a last minute meeting tomorrow.

Hello again,
We now have no expenditure for the foreseeable future, so please feel free
to stop paying subs during this time (see other email for more details).
As mentioned in the WhatsApp, if you would like to continue your payments,
but put them towards a DART fund (for whenever we end up going), then
please reply to this email to confirm that.
There is zero pressure to do this at all, this is completely your money and
therefore your decision as we pause subs for the time being.
As always, happy to chat with anyone if they have any questions or concerns
😊
All the best,
Emma
Morning all,
The hall have been in touch and said that we can cancel our payments for
hiring it whilst we're not using it. We hadn't originally in case they were
struggling financially.
So please feel free to cancel your subs payments from now, as we have zero
expenditure at the moment. I'll be in touch about setting them up again
when we're back at practice.
Hope you're staying well and safe :)
Emma

For the topic I thought it might be nice to share something we've enjoyed listening to during lockdown. What's your morning motivational track? Have you rediscovered any gems by clearing out a box of CDs/cassettes/vinyls? Maybe you've discovered a new artist thanks to your copious levels of social media scrolling. Or maybe there's a podcast or audio book that helps you relax before bedtime. If we all share one track/album/artist/book/podcast each then I'll try and make a list, or maybe playlist, which we can all use for inspiration afterwards.
Speak soon,

Tell us all about your perfect meal, multiple courses encouraged and of course what you’d drink with it.
I promise there will be no dodgy photoshopped pictures of politicians this week. Probably.
See you at 7pm on monday!

Hiya,
Here's a task for you all at the weekend. We don't currently have any
pictures of 2019 DERT in the g-drive. If you have some, email them to me!
(I don't want to take them off facebook because the compression is bad - I
want originals!) You can use wetransfer <https://wetransfer.com/> if you
like too.
There are other events for which we lack photos but I'm gonna ask for them
one at a time.
Thanks everyone!!!

Hi Ravens!
Congrats on making it through another week :)
Links for Monday's zoom are below and I'll stick them on the whatsapp group just before 7pm on Mon as well.
This week's topic: "What I did on my (imaginary) Easter holidays"
I thought it might be fun to escape real life for a bit and make each other laugh, no need to stay within the constraints of Earth/reality if you wish! As an example here's mine...
"My mum and I roadtripped up to Scotland in the campervan and stayed in the grounds of Hogwarts. We spent most of the weekend exploring the castle, discovering fantastic beasts in the grounds with Hagrid and finished it off with a Dylan concert at the top of the highest tower."
If that sounds like way too much effort then feel free to just enjoy other people's contributions (or gatecrash their holidays)!
See you Monday :)

Hi All,
I've been a bit lax about invites etc. given we have no idea how long this
will last for. However we have an invite to Hartlepool Folk Festival 16-18
October - they are aware that this may yet have to be cancelled, and we
obviously don't know when we'll be able to practice again to get back up to
speed...
They're aware that it's a little way away from London for a weekend (4.5hrs
by train, so not too bad!) and that things are a bit uncertain, so at the
mo, they'd just like an idea as to whether we would be likely to go, so if
you can just vote in this little doodle that would help (options are
probably would, maybe? and nope). I won't commit you to anything you reply
on the doodle.

Hi all,
Here's the link to tonight's zoom meeting :D. I set it as a recurring
meeting so hopefully the same link will work in the future. Let's start at
7pm as usual. I haven't really thought of a particular topic for discussion
but I think it'd be lovely to go round and see how everyone is and how the
past week has been. Of course we'll also have to compare magnificent
homemade trophies!
See everyone later x

Hello everyone,
I said I'd organise a crafty zoom chat for anyone and everyone interested
in crafts.
I was thinking of Saturday afternoon this week at 4pm. It doesn't have to
be a long session, just a catch up on what we're doing, sharing ideas and
helping out newbies to a particular craft or people interested in learning
something. Deets below.
You don't have to be currently crafting to join! Come and be nosey! And you
don't have to stay the whole time, drop in and out as you like.
If you do want to join in but don't have any projects on the go, can I
suggest pompom making? It's really easy and I'm happy to talk people
through it - all you need is thin-ish card, a circular thing to draw
around, scissors and an amount of yarn (and potentially a tapestry needle
but not necessarily, tweezers will do in a pinch - no pun intended!)
Hopefully see some of you there on Saturday!

Hi folks,
As I was only in the meeting for a bit yesterday I thought I'd save my thank yous from DERT for an email! As well as some business..
1. Virtual DERT
2. Going forward with weekly meetings
3. Postponed EGM
4. Task for next week!
1.Virtual DERT
I wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who got involved, whether that was preparing a submission, voting, joining in on the chat, or just not going insane at trying to keep up with the number of messages going round! I really appreciated the distraction and I hope you all did too.
I did want to give a special thanks to a few people:
* Martin for all the mighty video editing (solo dance and buzz)
* Paul, I mean Patrick, for the character video!
* Miriam for the Steep Hill photo
* Hannah for all the admin
* Katherine for all the social media posts on the day (and Rachel-Anne celebrating our victory on instagram!
* Dilly team for the stepping videos and all the hard work in the solo dance
Overall enthusiasm and participation was typically ravens, and once more I was made immensely proud to be part of such an awesome group!
2. Zoom meetings are hopefully being enjoyed by everyone and I know the most recent one went well being chaired by Emma, as well as her organising it in the first place and providing a topic. I would propose a different person does this job each week, it's not hard but it does split it up! Not everyone has to do it, I don't want it to be a massive task for everyone. Next week I nominate Ellie to organise and chair - but she can come up with a topic (sorry Ellie, if you hate the idea please get someone else to do it).
3. Obviously yesterday would have been the EGM and although we're not going to try and do this remotely I do want to remind everyone that when we can meet, and we have the EGM, I will be standing down as foreperson. We never really got to the bottom of an assistant at practice as although Katherine helped with whatever I asked of her (she knows I'm sorry!) it didn't really work very well as is just too hard to coordinate much in advance. It basically took someone with experience of teaching to do something productive with whoever was left after my planned activity (most common when someone/ multiple people had said they couldn't make practice, but only on the day).
I am 100% happy to go through my role, answer any questions and have any discussions about how a new foreperson can be supported.
I also think it's worth discussing the handover in the current circumstances. As above, I'm happy to stay in place until we have an EGM, but with such a long break I imagine getting back into dancing might be rather unusual, if people think we need a process to cover that please suggest!
4. Fun task??
I was going to suggest this for the particularly bored/creative. Since we won so many awards but get no trophies, if people want to design winning trophies over the week and share them on zoom that'd be awesome. (I'm thinking imaginative use of recycling!).
Stay safe and keep in touch,
Becky xx

Happy lunchtime ravens! Link for tonight is below. I thought we could go
round and each say a ravens thing that we've really enjoyed over the past
year (from the day after DERT last year to today) or your favourite thing
from virtual DERT, because we sometimes do that at this time of year and it
always makes me feel warm and gooey inside :)

Hi guys,
I hope you've all survived the week ok. Existing almost entirely within my flat is becoming the new normal but I'm still looking forward to our weekly catch-up tomorrow!
Last week I just wanted to make sure everyone could use the tech and we could all say how we are and everything. This week there are some things we need to achieve so I've come up with this agenda.
Scroll for the two meeting links, one at 7.30, second at 8.10.
1. Subs - with it being such a weird time we understand not everyone has an income and wouldn't want subs to contribute to stress or financial ruin. We want to continue to pay the church, so if your income is unaffected please do continue with subs, but if you need to cancel that's absolutely fine. You don't need to ask permission, but please do let Emma know so she can make sure we'll be ok! (Basically, I'm just going to say this again tomorrow haha)
2. Stepping - I could do a stepping video for people if people would use it?
3. What the hell have the Dilly set been up to?
4. DERT - we need to brainstorm the different categories! My thoughts are in blue, but they are just thoughts, all ideas welcome!
* Stepping I would suggest the DERT set organises this amongst themselves) 👣 nnjnj
Each team will need to submit the following videos: Stepping for 4 x 4s, 2 x 8s, 2 x trains, 2 x Jonty, 1 x 16, 2 x double step.
The videos don’t have to be from the same person, but the videos needs to be clear and crisp (no music).
Round 1 – stepping for 4
Round 2 – Stepping for 8
Round 3 – Stepping for 16
Round 4 – Stepping in Trains
Round 5 – Stepping in Jonties
The videos will be posted as poll with each round being a knockout. In the event of a tie we will use the double step videos.
* Music 🎶
Each team will submit their favourite tune or song (doesn’t have to be folk).
This list will then be voted on. We’ll also create a Spotify playlist so you can listen to make your decision.
* Character I would suggest Paul does something magical and stand-up 🤡
Teams must submit a video of their best Tommy routine lasting no more than 2 minutes.
Do not include a song, we just want the jokes – feel free to Tommy an imaginary dance.
Again, we’ll do this in the form of knockout rounds.
* Tyzack Trophy Ideas have so far ranged from "a bee" to something about vibrators! Anyone got any other ideas LOL🐝
A team member must find something that buzzes and record it buzzing as a video.
We’ll then post the videos against each other as polls in knockout rounds.
* Best Solo Rapper Performance Up for suggestions, but DERT set might already have figured out
You have heard if two person rapper, you have even heard of six person rapper, but this is even better - no risk of your kit not matching or you stepping being out of time! And do you even need swords?!
This can be anything from a figure, to a whole dance. If we can identify what figures you are trying to recreate then you are definitely nailing it!
*
Best use of Steep Hill, without being there.
Steep Hill is a steep hill in Lincoln, and this was going to be our DERT 2020 extra competition. Now it has risen (steeply) from the ashes (cobbles) and has resurrected in virtual form.
We are looking for artistic use of angles, perspective, your reactions to barrels of beer rolling down the hill... Extra points for having the skills to make it look like you were actually there. Photos, videos and artwork all welcome
Get scheming guys!

Hello everyone,
This is a strange old time for everyone but as a team we can be a rock for
each other and keep everyone's spirits up with virtual/remote activities.
Becky had the idea to mark our response to this situation in some way. So
I've been thinking about ways to do just that.
We're all scheduled for a zoom meet up on Monday where we can discuss these
things, but my thought was to have regular Monday zoom sessions which might
be used for stepping practice if we can make it work or for general chats.
And we could have "pub session" for Fridays or Saturdays to give our weeks
more structure? If people like the sound of that, drinking game ideas would
be welcome (I've got one - The Ministry of Supplies - did anyone else play
that game at school?). And we seem to be a very crafty group, so if people
would like a mid week craft-a-long, that could work. We're also a musical
bunch, so musician sessions might be something we want to try too?
Another thing was to use the whatsapp group to share favourite Raven
memories, events, photos and challenges. I would use these images,
anecdotes and screen grabs of chats to make a virtual "scrapbook" (and in
time another physical one too?).
I know everyone's responses to this situation will be different so I don't
want to assume everyone is happy to have their chats and images captured.
Please let me know if you'd like to opt out of any of these activities. And
if you are happy to participate remember - you don't need to do every
single chat or activity - only join in with what you have the energy for!
Thanks,
Ravens... I love you all. See you Monday.
